Hi,

As far as I know, ppp is currently the only way to configure PPPoE
sessions on DragonFly. The ppp userland program makes use of ng_pppoe
kernel counterpart to deal with the PADIs/PADOs etc of the PPPoE
session.

Your configuration seems correct. You should get a tun0 interface with
an ip address if everything goes well.
